Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus and Anduril Industries, has voiced strong criticism against the reaction to DeepSeek, labeling it as an overreaction.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Luckey took to X, formerly Twitter, and described the hysteria surrounding DeepSeek, a China-based AI startup, as an &#8220;indictment of so many.&#8221;
He dismissed the $5 million figure associated with DeepSeek as false.
He said the Chinese hedge fund aims to deter investment in American AI startups and benefit from short positions against U.S. tech giants like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).

DeepSeek is backed by High-Flyer, an $8 billion Chinese quantitative hedge fund co-founded by Liang Wenfeng.
Luckey also accused the fund of attempting to obscure sanction evasion. &#8220;America is a fertile bed for psyops like this because our media apparatus hates our technology companies and wants to see President Trump fail.&#8221;

Palmer Luckey Blasts Hysteria Over DeepSeek, Oculus-Founder Says Chinese Hedge Fund's 'Psyops' Targeted US AI Giants Like Nvidia

Jim Cramer took aim at panic sellers Tuesday as major tech stocks recovered from a sharp decline triggered by Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek&#8216;s market entrance, with NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) leading the rebound with an 8.82% gain.
What Happened: &#8220;The shoot first learn later crew really got hosed today,&#8221; CNBC&#8217;s Cramer wrote on X, following Monday&#8217;s tech sector selloff that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43221806/nvidia-amd-broadcom-smci-tsmc-and-other-tech-giants-lead-monday-pre-market-selloff-as-nasdaq-100-futures-plummet-over-650-points-amid-reports-of-chinese-ai-startup-deepseek-overtaking-chatgpt">erased nearly $600 billion </a>from Nvidia&#8217;s market value amid concerns over DeepSeek&#8217;s claims of matching OpenAI&#8217;s performance at lower costs.
The phrase &#8220;shoot first, learn later&#8221; originates from the idiom &#8220;shoot first, ask questions later,&#8221; implying a hasty or impulsive action, often criticized in financial contexts for lacking due diligence.<a href="https://usdictionary.com/idioms/shoot-first-ask-questions-later/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>
The recovery saw Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) surge 5.25% and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) climb 2.57%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>, as market sentiment shifted away from initial panic over DeepSeek&#8217;s potential disruption of the AI chip market.
Fundstrat Global Advisors&#8216; head of research Tom Lee characterized Monday&#8217;s selloff as &#8220;an overreaction&#8221; during CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Closing Bell,&#8221; drawing parallels to Nvidia&#8217;s March 2020 decline that proved to be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43259288/fundstrats-tom-lee-sees-nvidias-17-plunge-as-an-opportunity-calls-nasdaqs-over-600-points-plunge-drop-a-market-overreaction">strategic entry point for investors</a>.

Why It Matters: The market response has raised questions about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43266135/jim-cramer-squashes-deepseek-hype-warns-of-ai-sputnik-moment-as-investor-frenzy-and-inferiority-complex-vs-china-grips-market">U.S.-China AI competition</a>. &#8220;The sudden emergence of DeepSeek is a Sputnik-like moment for the U.S. and potentially undermines U.S. AI exceptionalism, but we see yesterday&#8217;s panic selling to be overdramatic,&#8221; Appreciate CEO Subho Moulik told Benzinga.
Adding complexity to the narrative, billionaire investor Bill Ackman questioned whether DeepSeek&#8217;s hedge fund affiliate, High-Flyer, potentially profited from the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43293842/bill-ackman-questions-whether-deepseek-ais-hedge-fund-affiliate-profited-from-nvidias-sell-off-a-fortune-could-have-been-made">selloff through options trading</a>. The Chinese startup emerged from High-Flyer, an $8 billion quantitative hedge fund co-founded by Liang Wenfeng.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged DeepSeek&#8217;s R1 as &#8220;an impressive model,&#8221; while <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43256425/nvidia-says-deepseek-an-illustration-of-how-new-ai-models-can-be-created-while-being-export-control-compliant-amid-600-billion-market-value-plunge">Nvidia defended its position</a>, stating that DeepSeek&#8217;s operations still &#8220;requires significant numbers of Nvidia [chips] and high-performance networking.&#8221;

Jim Cramer Says The 'Shoot First Learn Later' Crowd Got 'Hosed' As Nvidia And Other Tech Stocks Stage Recovery After DeepSeek Turmoil

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has joined forces with Elon Musk's SpaceX and T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMUS#NASDAQ">TMUS</a>) to bring Starlink satellite texting capabilities to iPhones.
What Happened: Apple has integrated the Starlink satellite network into its latest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43257851/ios-183-released-with-urgent-security-fixes-heres-why-every-iphone-user-should-update-immediately">iPhone software update</a> iOS 18.3, released on Monday, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-29/apple-and-spacex-link-up-to-support-starlink-satellite-network-on-iphones">reported</a> Bloomberg.
T-Mobile has initiated a limited beta test, allowing some iPhone users to experience the Starlink service.
Participants in the beta received messages from T-Mobile, informing them of their inclusion in the Starlink program. The company said that the test will initially support select smartphones, with plans to expand to more devices, the report noted.

Currently, the Starlink service is limited to texting, but SpaceX and T-Mobile aim to include data and voice capabilities in the future.
The service is available only in the U.S. for now, contrasting with Apple&#8217;s satellite connectivity provider Globalstar (AMEX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GSAT#AMEX">GSAT</a>) service, which operates in multiple countries.
Why It Matters: This partnership marks a significant shift, as T-Mobile had previously only mentioned Starlink compatibility with Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) devices.&nbsp;

T-Mobile has also expanded the beta to include some users with Android 15, the newest version of Alphabet Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google's operating system.
Both the Starlink and Apple satellite services are intended for use in remote areas, like hiking trails, where <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33350183/iphone-14-crash-detection-feature-saves-drivers-life-in-terrifying-400-feet-cliff-fall">cellular coverage is unavailable</a>.
The Apple satellite service is supported on most modern iPhone models, and the company is also planning to introduce it on the Ultra smartwatch later this year, the report noted.
T-Mobile US is set to discuss its fourth-quarter earnings on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025. The company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41501756/t-mobile-reports-strong-q3-results-service-revenues-grew-5-yoy-fcf-grew-29-raised-fy24-guidance">third-quarter revenue</a> reached $20.16 billion, surpassing the analyst consensus estimate of $20.01 billion. Apple&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43198886/apples-q1-earnings-might-not-miss-a-beat-even-as-iphone-sales-stumble-analyst">first-quarter earnings</a> report is expected on Jan. 30.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock rose by 3.65% on Tuesday, ending the day at $238.26, and saw a further increase of 0.038% in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">data from Benzinga Pro</a>. TMUS&#8217;s stock dropped 0.17% on Tuesday, closing at $221.06, but gained 0.12% in after-hours trading.

Apple Surprises Users With Starlink Beta, Teams Up With Elon Musk's SpaceX And T-Mobile To Bring Satellite Texting For iPhone Users In iOS 18.3

Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives expects Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) to stand firm on their ambitious artificial intelligence spending plans during their upcoming earnings calls, despite recent market jitters over Chinese AI startup DeepSeek&#8216;s emergence.
What Happened: Ives, writing on X on Tuesday, said he anticipates both tech giants to reiterate their substantial 2025 AI-driven capital expenditure targets – $60-65 billion for Meta and $80 billion for Microsoft – during their Wednesday earnings calls.
The analyst&#8217;s comments come as both companies prepare to report quarterly results amid market uncertainty triggered by DeepSeek&#8217;s surprise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43236579/chinas-deepseek-ai-rattles-tech-stocks">announcement of a new large language model</a> that reportedly cost just $6 million to develop using restricted Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips.
While DeepSeek&#8217;s achievement sent tremors through tech stocks, On Monday, Ives dismissed concerns about its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43236579/chinas-deepseek-ai-rattles-tech-stocks">impact on established players</a>. &#8220;No US Global 2000 is going to use a Chinese start-up DeepSeek to launch their AI infrastructure and use cases,&#8221; he noted, characterizing the recent market reaction as a &#8220;golden buying opportunity.&#8221;

Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan, however, cautioned that the Street might be &#8220;too optimistic&#8221; about near-term returns on AI investments.
The broader AI landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with both companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43236579/chinas-deepseek-ai-rattles-tech-stocks">heavily invested in the sector</a>. &#8220;The focus of AI right now is the enterprise use cases and broader infrastructure propelling this $2 trillion of Cap-Ex over the next 3 years,&#8221; Ives emphasized, highlighting the strategic importance of maintaining planned investment levels despite market volatility.

Dan Ives Expects Meta And Microsoft To Stand Firm On $60 - $80 Billion AI Spending Plans Amid DeepSeek's Disruptive AI Model

Bets favoring approval of a Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) exchange-traded fund in 2025 surged on Polymarket after cryptocurrency fund manager&nbsp;Bitwise Asset Management formally applied with the SEC.
What Happened: The odds on the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-<a href="https://polymarket.com/event/doge-etf-approved-in-2025?tid=1738100634583">based </a>prediction platform increased from 43% to 56% in the last 24 hours before falling back to 53% as of this writing. On Jan. 2, the likelihood of Dogecoin ETF was just 26%.
The surge followed Bitwise&#8217;s official submission with the SEC to list a Bitwise Dogecoin ETF that will provide exposure to the market moves of the world&#8217;s largest meme coin. The S-1 filing is a prerequisite for issuers to file to offer new securities.
The firm had submitted an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43153205/bets-favoring-dogecoin-etf-approval-in-2025-jump-after-bitwises-delaware-filing-top-trader-paints-over-4000-upside-for-memecoin">ETF filing</a> to Delaware&#8217;s Department of State&#8217;s Division of Corporations last week, typically seen as a precursor to an official SEC filing.

Why It Matters: The news of the filing spurred a 4% rise in Open Interest for Dogecoin futures over the last 4 hours, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/BitcoinOpenInterest">according </a>to Coinglass, indicating high speculative interest.
Additionally, bullish bets for the coin surged, with more than 53% of futures traders placing long positions, <a href="https://www.coinglass.com/LongShortRatio">data </a>from Long/Short ratio showed.
Bitwise's registration comes after&nbsp;REXShares&nbsp;and&nbsp;Osprey&nbsp;filed several ETF applications with the SEC last week,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43105356/meme-coin-supercycle-dogecoin-trump-bonk-futures-etf-applications-filed" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">including one</a>&nbsp;for Dogecoin. 
Influential trader Ali Martinez stated previously that an ETF could propel DOGE&#8217;s price to $15.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exchanging hands at $0.3282, down 1.80% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Polymarket Bets Turn Bullish On 2025 Dogecoin ETF After Bitwise Move

A nationwide lockout of federal health payment systems, reportedly due to an &#8220;outage&#8221;, has led to widespread criticism of the White House. The lockout affected several organizations and agencies, including state Medicaid programs, federally funded Head Start early education programs, and community health centers.
What Happened: The White House attributed the lockout to an &#8220;outage.&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X that the administration is &#8220;aware&#8221; of the Medicaid website not functioning.
&#8220;We have confirmed no payments have been affected — they are still being processed and sent,&#8221; said Leavitt.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The White House is aware of the Medicaid website portal outage. We have confirmed no payments have been affected — they are still being processed and sent. We expect the portal will be back online shortly.
&mdash; Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) <a href="https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1884329868030271759?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 28, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

The lockout prevented multiple state Medicaid programs from accessing their payment systems. However, operations resumed later the same day, according to a CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/medicaid-head-start-health-centers-trump-funding-freeze/">report</a>. The incident coincided with President Donald Trump&#8217;s controversial decision to freeze spending across the federal government, leading to heightened criticism from state governments, nonprofits, and lawmakers.
The entities affected were unable to access the Payment Management Services web portal, run by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which processes billions of dollars in payments annually. 
The lockout and the ongoing communication &#8220;pause&#8221; imposed by the Trump administration at HHS led to a flurry of requests for comment from various stakeholders, including the National Association of Medicaid Directors and several lawmakers.

Why It Matters: The lockout occurred amidst the administration&#8217;s decision to freeze spending across the federal government, a move that has been challenged legally. A federal judge issued a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43292056/judge-blocks-trumps-order-to-freeze-federal-grant-money">temporary stay on the funding freeze</a>, halting the move until further arguments can be heard.
The freeze put<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43290381/trumps-federal-spending-freeze-puts-3-trillion-in-limbo-threatens-industries-like-clean-energy-defense-healthcare"> $3 trillion in funding under scrutiny</a>. This directive required all federal agencies to halt disbursements while programs were reviewed for alignment with Trump&#8217;s policy priorities.
The move is expected to hit sectors such as healthcare, education, clean energy and others. Stocks of clean energy companies like Sunnova Energy International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOVA#NYSE">NOVA</a>). and Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) suffered a downturn. Shares of healthcare-sector firms like Universal Health Services Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UHS#NYSE">UHS</a>) and Tenet Healthcare Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/THC#NYSE">THC</a>) also were in the red on Tuesday.

Trump White House Blames 'Outage' For Medicaid Website Lockout: 'We Have Confirmed No Payments Have Been Affected'

On Monday, Jeff Bezos-backed Perplexity AI unveiled a self-hosted version of the DeepSeek R1 model.
What Happened: Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas shared the development on X, formerly Twitter, saying the model is now available for research purposes.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter">

The announcement led to misconceptions, with some fearing that DeepSeek data might be accessible to the Chinese government or that search results could be censored.
Srinivas addressed these concerns, stating, "All DeepSeek usage in Perplexity is through models hosted in data centers in the USA and Europe. DeepSeek is &#x2A;open-source&#x2A;. None of your data goes to China."

Why It Matters: Earlier, Ross Gerber criticized DeepSeek&#8217;s privacy policy, expressing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/43258810/ross-gerber-slams-deepseeks-privacy-policy-as-the-chinese-ai-models-rise-triggers-market-chaos-i-dont-trust-a-thing-china-does">distrust in Chinese data practices</a>.
The White House has also placed DeepSeek under a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43293506/chinas-deepseek-under-white-house-scrutiny-over-potential-national-security-risks">national security review</a>.
Previously, in an interview, David Sacks, the White House AI and crypto czar said, &#8220;There's substantial evidence that what DeepSeek did here is they distilled knowledge out of OpenAI models and I don't think OpenAI is very happy about this.
Srinivas also spoke about it saying, &#8220;There's a lot of misconception that China &#8216;just cloned&#8217; the outputs of OpenAI. This is far from true and reflects incomplete understanding of how these models are trained in the first place.&#8221;

Jeff Bezos-Backed Perplexity Rolls Out Self-Hosted DeepSeek R1 Model Amid Chinese AI Controversy: CEO Aravind Srinivas Says, 'There's A Lot Of Misconception...'

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman questioned whether DeepSeek&#8216;s hedge fund affiliate potentially profited from Monday&#8217;s tech stock rout, which saw Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares plunge 17% following the Chinese artificial intelligence startup&#8217;s emergence as a potential disruptor.
What Happened: &#8220;What are the chances that Deepseek AI&#8217;s hedge fund affiliate made a fortune yesterday with short-dated puts on Nvidia, power companies, etc.?&#8221; Ackman wrote Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter. &#8220;A fortune could have been made.&#8221;
DeepSeek, which emerged from High-Flyer, an $8 billion Chinese quantitative hedge fund co-founded by Liang Wenfeng, according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/deepseek-ai-china-tech-stocks-explained-ee6cc80e">to</a> The Wall Street Journal, sparked market concerns after announcing its R1 AI model could match OpenAI&#8216;s performance at significantly lower costs without using advanced chips.
The announcement triggered a broader tech selloff that erased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43221806/nvidia-amd-broadcom-smci-tsmc-and-other-tech-giants-lead-monday-pre-market-selloff-as-nasdaq-100-futures-plummet-over-650-points-amid-reports-of-chinese-ai-startup-deepseek-overtaking-chatgpt">approximately $1 trillion in market value</a>. Companies like Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) also saw significant declines as investors questioned the massive AI infrastructure investments by U.S. tech giants.
Ackman, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/07/39778021/billionaire-bill-ackman-launching-new-fund-should-income-investors-search-elsewhere">through his hedge fund</a> Pershing Square Capital Management, holds a significant stake in tech giants such as Google parent Alphabet, according to 13F filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
High-Flyer and DeepSeek did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged R1 as &#8220;an impressive model, particularly around what they&#8217;re able to deliver for the price,&#8221; on X, announcing plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43259545/deepseeks-r1-is-impressive-but-openai-ceo-sam-altman-says-they-will-crush-it-with-much-better-models-looking-forward-to-bringing-you-all-agi-and-beyond">accelerate some product releases in response</a>.

DeepSeek&#8217;s success using lower-cost chips raises <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43267966/deepseeks-low-cost-model-reshapes-ai-landscape-experts-predict-shift-to-application-layer">questions about U.S. export controls</a> on advanced semiconductors to China, suggesting either their ineffectiveness or the possibility of alternative technological approaches in AI development.
The privately-held Chinese company&#8217;s R1 model, released as open-source software, allows other companies to adapt it for their use, potentially accelerating the democratization of AI technology beyond <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/43289107/will-deepseek-hurt-magnificent-7-stocks-valuation">traditional tech giants</a>.

Bill Ackman Questions Whether DeepSeek AI's Hedge Fund Affiliate Profited From Nvidia's Sell-Off: 'A Fortune Could Have Been Made'

Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) lead ambassador Shytoshi Kusama hinted at a major partnership announcement for the blockchain ecosystem on Tuesday, stirring up excitement among enthusiasts.
What Happened: Kusama took to X to tease an upcoming &#8220;extremely powerful partnership announcement,&#8221; which appeared to have significant implications for the entire project, including the meme coin SHIB.
The pseudonymous figure offered to discuss the partnership in detail with influencers and those willing to know about it.

Shiba Inu's Shytoshi Kusama Teases 'Extremely Powerful Partnership' — Coin Themed On Him Rallies 25%

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades involving Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest made a decisive move on Tuesday by selling 2,772 shares of Tesla Inc. through its ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>). The sale, valued at approximately $1.1 million based on Tesla&#8217;s closing price of $398.09, comes ahead of Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/01/43285246/teslas-q4-earnings-looms-can-the-stock-keep-its-rally-alive">anticipated fourth-quarter earnings report</a>. Investors are keenly observing Tesla&#8217;s performance, especially with CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s ambitious promise of a 30% sales increase in 2025. Despite a remarkable 106.68% rise over the past year, Tesla&#8217;s stock has seen a slight decline of 1.41% year-to-date. The market remains cautious, with Wall Street expressing skepticism about Tesla&#8217;s growth projections.
The Amazon Trade
On the same day, Ark Invest increased its stake in Amazon.com Inc. by purchasing 41,338 shares through ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) and ARKW. This acquisition, totaling approximately $9.8 million, is based on Amazon&#8217;s closing price of $238.15. Notably, Ark had purchased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43256648/cathie-wood-swoops-in-to-buy-amd-shares-amid-deepseek-tech-upheaval-dumps-tesla-stock-worth-8-1-million">$1.76 million worth of Amazon shares</a> just a day prior. The Amazon stock purchases has been a continuing trend with the Wood-led firm adding another $8.9 million worth of shares in early January.
Other Key Trades:
<ul>
<li>Sold 446,148 shares of Adyen NV (ADYEY) through ARKW.Sold 25,500 shares of Rocket Lab USA Inc (RKLB) through ARKQ.Sold 22,830 shares of Roblox Corp (RBLX) through ARKK.</li>

What Happened: The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the development stating, &#8220;This is a wake-up call to the American AI industry,&#8221; reported Reuters.
She echoed President Donald Trump&#8217;s earlier remarks, saying that the White House remained committed to securing America&#8217;s leadership in AI innovation.
The review comes amid fears of intellectual property theft, a concern raised by David Sacks, the White House&#8217;s AI and crypto czar.

In a Fox News interview on Monday, Sacks highlighted the AI technique known as distillation, where one model learns from another, as a potential threat.
&#8220;I think one of the things you&#8217;re going to see over the next few months is our leading AI companies taking steps to try and prevent distillation &#8230; That would definitely slow down some of these copycat models,&#8221; he said.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez spotted a sell signal on Bitcoin's hourly chart, using the TD Sequential indicator.
"Bitcoin could retest recent lows around $99,000. A rebound may follow, supported by a dovish outlook from the Fed tomorrow," Martinez predicted.
The TD Sequential indicator is a technical analysis tool that identifies potential trend exhaustion points and price reversals.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Dip As Stocks Rebound: Top Trader Anticipates BTC's Fall To $99,000 But A 'Dovish' Fed Could Spark Recovery

Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) planned $30,000 electric vehicle could disappoint investors if it fails to introduce a new compact form factor, according to prominent Tesla bull Gary Black, managing partner of The Future Fund LLC.
What Happened: Black warned on social media platform X that simply releasing a scaled-down version of existing Models 3 or Y could lead to significant cannibalization of Tesla&#8217;s current lineup. This could prompt Wall Street analysts to lower their 2025 delivery growth estimates, currently projected at 16% year-over-year.
&#8220;A Tesla&#8217;s new $30-$35K car may be a nothing burger if Tesla doesn't introduce a new form factor to extend TSLA's franchise into the compact category,&#8221; Black wrote. 
The caution comes ahead of Tesla&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/01/43289930/tesla-q4-earnings-preview-2025-delivery-growth-fsd-model-y-refresh-new-vehicles-among-key-topics">fourth-quarter earnings report </a>due Wednesday, where investors eagerly await details about the company&#8217;s new affordable EV expected to be unveiled in the first half of 2025.
&#8220;Much depends on whether the new $30K-$35K Tesla vehicle extends Tesla&#8217;s TAM to the compact category, which represents 15% of global volume,&#8221; Black wrote, highlighting the significance of targeting a new market segment rather than just offering cheaper variants of existing models.
